Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons Instant Coffee ensure it's instant, not ground, for proper whipping
  • 2 tablespoons Granulated Sugar this helps stabilize the whipped foam
  • 2 tablespoons Caramel Sauce for the whipped mixture, plus extra for drizzling
  • 2 tablespoons Hot Water to dissolve the coffee and sugar
  • 1 cup Milk your preference: dairy, almond, oat, or soy all work wonderfully
  • A generous handful Ice Cubes for serving
Optional Toppings
  • Whipped cream for garnish
  • Extra caramel drizzle for garnish
  • Sprinkle of sea salt for garnish
  • Caramel candy crushed for garnish

Equipment

  • Medium-sized bowl
  • Electric hand mixer or whisk
  • Serving glass

Method
 

  1. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the instant coffee, granulated sugar, and 2 tablespoons of caramel sauce. Add the 2 tablespoons of hot water.
    2 tablespoons Instant Coffee, 2 tablespoons Granulated Sugar, 2 tablespoons Caramel Sauce, 2 tablespoons Hot Water
  2. Using an electric hand mixer or a whisk (though a hand mixer will be significantly faster and easier), begin whipping the mixture. Start on a low speed and gradually increase to high. Continue whipping for approximately 5-8 minutes, or until the mixture becomes thick, pale, and forms stiff peaks. It should resemble a fluffy, caramel-colored mousse. If using a whisk, this process will take considerably longer and require vigorous arm work!
  3. Fill a serving glass generously with ice cubes. Pour your chosen milk over the ice, leaving about 1-2 inches of space at the top for the whipped topping.

  4. Gently spoon the caramel whipped coffee mixture over the milk. Be generous! You want a substantial cloud of foamy goodness.
  5. Drizzle extra caramel sauce over the whipped topping. For an extra touch of decadence, add a dollop of whipped cream and perhaps a sprinkle of flaky sea salt to balance the sweetness, or top with a crushed caramel candy.

  6. Grab a spoon or a straw (a wider straw is best for sipping through the foam and milk) and dive into your delicious homemade Caramel Whipped Coffee!

Notes

The whipped caramel coffee mixture can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1-2 days. It may deflate slightly but can be frothed up again briefly before serving. The milk and ice should be prepared fresh each time.
